Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Peeps!!I wonder how many of you are doing something special today?. I am a bit ashamed to say this, but I can not honestly remember the last time I attended church on easter sunday. I would be willing to bet the last time was about 15 years ago. Today is no exception. I am at work. I realize I need to stop procrastinating. Its time for me to find ways to get my family and myself more involved with church.
I do love Easter time. Its the time of year when all of God's miracles are being resurrected. His only son, nature and his creatures. Its a fresh new start for all. I love all of the pretty colors, the glorious smells, the return of beautiful song birds and the gift of new life for many little critters.
I knew it would not be an easy task to decorate eggs with an 18 month old. However, I felt that I really needed to do it. I want him to have these great memories. Yes, I know he probably will not even remember, but I will. So, I attempted to help Colter decorate his eggs. Or should I say, I did most of the decorating. He was more interested in trying to drink the dye from the cups, ripping apart the card board box and trying to throw the "balls" (eggs) across the room. Needless to say, we did not have much for finished products. My flash gordan skills are not as good as they used to be and many off the "balls" did not survive. My little pitcher has a great curve ball!
It would have been great to have some extra hands, but Tanner went to his mom's for the long weekend. Tanner was looking forward to meeting his new little sister. His mom had a baby girl the beginning of February and he had yet to see her. I hope he is having a good time. I hope ya'll are having a good time!!

I think the eggs turned out great :)! I hope you had a great Easter even though you had to work.

I wish you luck on finding a church home and getting more involved. It's quite the process sometimes but well worth it :)!

I hope you guys had a great Easter even though you had to work.

You will be surprised at how much fun Colter actually had doing those eggs.

Your story cracked me up, but you forgot to tell everyone that not only did you work your normal 8 hour shift, but you worked an extra 2 hours because someone didn't come in. Oh yeah, and you did it at regular pay - not holiday pay.

Next year PLEASE make sure you get it off!!!!
